When do babies get easier?
This question usually comes from new parents who are tired, stressed, and did we mention tired?
So, the first thing you need to hear is “Don’t worry – they do get easier.”
I won’t ever forget the distress I felt when I asked that question of older parents. I was looking down at my two-year-old and twin babies, all stuffed in a triplet stroller so we could safely leave the house, only to be told, “Oh, it never gets easier, you just have different problems at different ages.”
I heartily disagree. There are different problems of different ages, but you don’t have to face them in a state of sleep-deprivation to a creature that can’t live without you for more than a few minutes.
So let’s break it down: Does babies get easier at 3 months? 6 months? Do babies get easier after one year?
